The Capital of the United States
After the waterfalls, we went to Washington. The stopover road took all day. Of course, you can share the way, see the interesting places in Pennsylvania and spend the night at the hotel, but we really wanted to get to the capital faster.

The Original Waffle Shop West

No breakfast at the hotel. Found a special place to serve waffles and went there. It's been a long time since we've had such waffles! A variety of syrups and supplements ranging from bacon to marshmallow. It is highly recommended to go there!

Before we left, the Pennsylvania War Museum came in. Beautiful, quiet place. In addition to the museum itself, you can see several cars and military equipment. Well-groomed territory and memorial park. Mainly the museum tells about the First and Second World Wars.

Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center
Landmark
Open Details
Gettysburg is a pretty small town, but personally I was very surprised by the number of museums in it. Unfortunately, when we arrived, most of them were closed, but we managed to visit the Gettysburg Military Park.
Sometimes military reconstruction takes place here and the park turns into an open-air museum of living history.

State of Pennsylvania Monument

As we drove through Pennsylvania, we couldn't help but stop at the memorial on the battlefield at Gettysburg. Take time to climb up the stairs to the observation deck to see everything around the battlefield.

Duck Duck Goose - Dupont Circle
Café
Open Details
We arrived in Washington almost at night. We were very lucky to have a late work place on the way to the hotel, where we had dinner with pleasure. They make delicious meals here, the portions are large, and the choice of drinks is just delightful.
Today we decided not to go for a walk in the night city, because we were very tired from the road and went to the room to go to bed as early as possible.

We went into the room and almost immediately collapsed into bed. Somehow I wanted to sleep. I'm glad we're spending the whole day in the city tomorrow and taking a break from the road. We'll have to examine Washington in one day, so let's try it!
